    Just like with all healthcare, there should be a baseline of equality for all Americans. Why should citizens of some states have fewer rights and more restrictions than those in other states? 

    Whether you agree with trans healthcare or not, can't we all agree that parents and doctors should get to make the best choices for the health and safety of their children?

    Causes asked, "Should the state play a role in the medical decisions of transgender children and their parents?"

    No.

    Politicizing health issues is always a bad idea.

    However, it is not a simple matter when imbeciles are involved eg.

    Recall the COVID-19 fights with vaccinations, mask wearing, limiting in person contacts, etc.

    The there was sitting under bright lights and drinking detergent.

    My least favorite was pretending COVID-19 was not a real health concern.

    Here's what really concerns me and it concerns me a lot. We're talking about the debt of the government and laying off workers in the government to alleviate that debt. Well, let's just take a look at one example of where that debt came from is an absolute fact and anyone can look it up every man woman and child even a one day old child and 100 year old person has given Elon Musk $100 plus Out of their pockets. That's everyone in America has paid Elon Musk $100! And this man who made himself into the richest person in the world off of that gets to decide who loses their jobs! I don't know that looks pretty funny to me. It looks pretty illegal to me.

     Healthcare decisions should be between patients and healthcare providers. 

     There are already sufficient regulation of these decisions.

     1) if the patient is a minor or has finished capacity then a parent or guardian needs to decide

     2) healthcare providers are limited to FDA approved drugs and treatment procedures and need to follow clinical practice guidelines that their professional associations agree too

     3) errors and bad decisions can be reviewed by state medical boards, or in civil and criminal courts.

     In addition the trans population in the U.S. is less than 1% of the population (0.6%).

     Why is so much campaign, legislative, political time spent on so few individuals which doesn't affect anyone else when the majority of the population is concerned about prices at the grocery store which nothing is being done about, and a major change in drug pricing for pbm's was removed from the CR by Musk, RamaSwampy (Ramaswamy) and Trump?

    I read it wrong, who are these judgemental ignorant ppl? How dare they make life altering decisions for ppl they have no connection too! Not suprised, abortion, trans, drugs, reading & learning! I would think we would be in age of enlightenment! The EVANGELICALS have helped to destroy our democracy! Tell them that ELON is AUTISTIC, his eldest daughter is trans & all 14 of his children are IVF! But, that doesn't matter, oh & their dear leader is goingt to sell them off to the highest bidder! 
    I thought GOP was about small government & national security! Ha ha they have lied for ever

    That is not true! The democrats plan is taxes the  billionaires and have them pay their fair share in taxes, tariffs hurt the poor and middle income 99% . Republicans want to privatize social security and Medicare like an insurance company, we seen how well that work, not!

    Trump screwed over the farmers water reservoir because of in CA LA fire, instead of asking if it would help, he just order the dam be open, which goes out to the ocean!  Another knee jerk operation! Do worry he surrounded himself with the mose incompetent people he could find!

    I am really sick and discussed that congress has allowed Trump to fire the government watchdogs, the very people that Congress established to watch that the government follows the rules! 
    Representive Finstad has been silent! When is Finstad going to get a backbone and represent the people in the first district! 
    We need these people to be reinstated to do their job looking out for the tax payers! 
    This is not about any political agenda, it's about following the law on how our tax dollars are spent per the laws Congress has passed!

    Trump's contumacious disregard of ruling and the law, court issued five times the order, not two as Alito said!. Congress award the aid and Congress pass the law: the president has to follow the law! Apparently the four wackos on the Supreme Court can't read!
